Iron plate action shooting or I.P.A.S, is the latest and ultimate action shooting discipline, designed specifically for the multi shot Co2 and Air cartridge pistols.
The discipline relies on two basic principles, Accuracy and speed. To be successful in this discipline the competitor must be well rounded in both these key principals.
For example it is not enough to be super accurate without speed, and speed alone is nothing without accuracy, after all it’s not the first shot that counts, it’s the first shot that hits that counts!
Hi all.i would just like to bring to your attention that as of the 20th April 2009 we have a new ipas PRO.
I have appointed Nigel Pidgeon whom some of you have met already at the Sywell match on the 19th.
Having been in contact with Nigel via e-mail over the last week or so, it is clear to me that he is the ideal person to take the job on.He has loads of ideas on how to expand and raise the profile of the sport and will be at the open day on the 2nd of May to discuss many of them.
So if you have any ideas of your own that you think may be worth a go, or any info or news that Nigel needs to know, come along and meet the man himself.
Failing that if you can`t make it on the 2nd, you can contact Nigel at pro.ipas@googlemail.com

Hi all After a lot of work, I have managed to update the system with a newer version of the software, some function have been disabled at this time but will be back online at the start of next year (Event Calander).
the New version has a better editor for you message and should be easier to use(i hope) :) for the rest of the year (shuch as it is) IPAS will be working on dates for the calander for the comming year.
Please check back soon for further updates.

On Friday 3/10/2008 i returned to the Buxted club with Gary Morrison to see how things were progressing on the IPAS front.When i got there, the plates were already up and ready for action.And what quaility plates they were too. Ten and twelve inches in size and approx. 5mm in thickness, mounted on large sturdy bases.As before their were about eight of us shooting, each one taking turns to either RO , score or recharge the mags etc.The courses of fire took into account the narrowness of the range and as such 18m to 20m shots were common place.Each shooter had the choice of using a pistol with either a scope or open sights and all apart from myself shot from the tyro position.However the the interest in holsters is emerging, needless to say that i expect to see more than couple being used next time i go there.We managed to complete three courses of fire before packing up to go home, all in all a very enjoyable evening and looking forward to the next visit.......
